Copying Difficult Phrases
— The Phrase Trainer Function
The ME-30 features a built-in "Phrase Trainer" function. With
this function, you can record and repeatedly play back
portions of music from devices (CDs, MDs, etc.) connected
to the ME-30's auxiliary input jack, for concentrated copying
or practicing of just the section you need. Additionally, you
can slow down the playback of this material, making it easier
to copy fast phrases or passages.
* Everything you record using the Phrase Trainer feature is dis-
cardled as soon as you turn off the Phrase Trainer, or switch off the
unit.
1, Press
to turn the Phrase Trainer
function on. "REC" appears in the display's char-
acter area, and the function goes into record
standby.
2. Play music from whatever device you have
connected to the auxiliary input jack. Press =)
the moment you reach the point where you
want recording to start, and press (=) when you
want recording to stop. The recording is in mono
and extends to a maximum of 12 seconds. If the
section exceeds this maximum
period, then
recording will stop automatically, even if you
don't press (*). During recording, the indicator in
the display's parameter area (refer to page 7)
continuously shows the recording time.
3. Press (—) to repeatedly play back the recorded
material. When you want to play back the seg-
ment from the beginning, after pressing («} once,

5. When you want fo record again, once you have
pressed [=] to interrupt playback, press
again. This returns you to the condition in you

* When you use the Phrase Trainer function, you will be tempo-
rarily unable to use spatial effects (Delay, Modulation and
Reverb) and the expression pedal. However, this is not because
the patch itself has been rewritten, so you can go ahead and play
using just the sound you hear until you turn off the Phrase Trainer
function.
* You can use the pedals to carry aut The Phrase Trainer proce-
dures shown below. Using the pedals to perform these functions
allows you to concentrate on your practice. Furthermore, you
can control your guitar volume with the expression pedal,
allowing you to easily adjust the volume of the source and your
guitar.
